Ultra Luxury Portofino Holidays
Pastel-coloured homes clustered around a bustling harbour, high-end boutiques, lively restaurants, and incredible coastal views, Portofino is a picture of seaside elegance. Enjoy a drink by the harbour, take a stroll around designer shops, or discover the true definition of fresh fish at a seafood restaurant.
Portofino has long been a favourite of celebrities, so a visit is sure to make you feel like you’ve joined the VIP list. Donning your sunglasses and watching yachts coming in and out the harbour and doing some people-watching as you relax on a cafe terrace is practically encouraged.
But with such an abundance of natural beauty and historic sites, you’ll also want to get out and explore. Sightseeing highlights in Portofino include the 16th-century fortress Castello Brown, which now houses a museum with fascinating art exhibitions to take in. Another must-visit is Chiesa di San Giorgio, a stunning hilltop church that also overlooks the bay and harbour.
There’s no beach in Portofino itself, but take a 20-minute walk up the coast and you’ll reach the beautiful Paraggi Beach. Awaiting you here is a small stretch of fine, light sand lapped by crystal-clear waters and dotted with sun loungers.
If you’re looking for a romantic getaway or chic weekend break, Portofino is the perfect spot for an unforgettable holiday full of colour and character.

Portofino In A Nutshell
Also go on a guided group kayaking tour to see the full beauty of Portofino as you enjoy the thrill of being on the waves. Visit creeks and caves on route while marvelling at what can be spotted inside the marine reserve. There’s also a scenic lunch stop where you can refuel with some locally-grown food and wine. Snorkelling is also an option, as are sunset kayaking tours.
One of the spots you’ll likely glide past is Paraggi Beach. Set within a sheltered bay, Paraggi Beach is backed by tree-covered cliffs and its shimmering waters are ideal for activities such as snorkelling and diving. They’re also part of the Portofino Marine Park, so every underwater escapade will have you coming face to face with rich biodiversity.
Just a short walk from the town’s harbour is Chiesa di San Giorgio. Be sure to take plenty of pictures of the idyllic landscape as you make the climb to this clifftop church that was built in the Romanesque style in 1154. Then head inside to have your breath taken away by its immaculate white interior. Venturing further into the surrounding hills will have you coming across grand mansions and villas, as well as rambling olive groves and vineyards. There are miles of hiking trails to follow, so hours of exploration are guaranteed.
For the best views in all of Portofino, a visit to Castello Brown is an absolute must. The climb there is certainly not for the faint hearted, but the vistas that greet you at the top are more than worth it. While you’re there, learn all about the history of the castle in the museum and take strolls around the pretty gardens - if you can tear your eyes away from the spectacular views.
When it’s time for a meal after all that sightseeing and outdoor adventures, you’ll find plenty of restaurant choices in Portofino. Ristorante Puny offers guests an authentic Italian experience of the highest standard. Occupying a prime spot in Portofino Square, expect to be spoiled for choice with an abundance of mouth-watering options. Be sure to book in advance to avoid disappointment as the eatery is popular among visitors and locals alike.
An elegant destination for shopping and dining, a place to soak up history, and a natural playground. Portofino is all these things and more! So, whether you visit for a family holiday, a couples’ getaway, or a solo adventure, you’ll be delighted with what this resort town has to offer.
